NOVEL NEXT Chapter 2: Double-Piercing Door, Shocking Im!
Double-Piercing Doors Can Be Regarded as a Treasure.
They have always existed within Kaos' body.
It was also thanks to the Double-Piercing Doors that Kaos was able to travel to this world.
However, after helping Kaos, the doors fell into a deep sleep due to the exhaustion of energy.
Only now did they awaken.
Kaos was stunned earlier because he received a message from the Double-Piercing Doors in his mind.
This message contained an introduction to the powers of the Double-Piercing Doors.
From this information, Kaos came to understand the true power of the doors.
Generally speaking, Double-Piercing Doors lead to a single world.
But his Double-Piercing Doors lead to countless worlds.
They just need to be unlocked.
And each time a door to a new world is opened and the world inside is conquered, that world can be integrated into Kaos' world, and he will receive additional rewards.
In other words, this cheat is incredibly powerful.
And it's very well-suited to Kaos.
Why, you ask?
Very simple.
First of all, Kaos is a Celestial Dragon—an extremely important figure among the Celestial Dragons.
This means Kaos has enormous resources at his disposal, which he can use as he pleases.
With vast resources, it means that Kaos can quickly develop the Otherworld.
The benefits of opening up another world need no further explanation.
Secondly, Kaos himself already has the qualifications to become the King of the World.
But after obtaining this door, the qualification becomes indisputable.
Because now, Kaos is bound to become the King of the World.
That's right.
Kaos intends to reveal everything to Im.
He has no concerns.
For example, being coveted by others for his Double-Piercing Doors or something similar.
Don't even think about it.
It's not going to happen.
Kaos' identity speaks for itself.
His future, at the very least, is guaranteed to be one of the Five Elders.
If nothing else, he'll be one of the highest powerholders in the World Government.
Kaos himself is tied to the World Government.
In this situation, Kaos possessing the Double-Piercing Doors will not only fail to make the Five Elders or Im fearful or envious, it will surprise them.
This represents an even brighter future for the World Government.
Kaos, without the Double-Piercing Doors, is already qualified to be a King.
With the Double-Piercing Doors, and because they are bound to Kaos, he becomes even more unique.
Anyone with common sense would know how to make the right choice.
Revealing the truth to Im carries no risks for Kaos.
On the contrary, it will make his position more secure and elevate his status.
"If this was when I had just traveled to this world, I probably would have remained cautious, worried about others discovering me," Kaos laughed softly.
After so many years of experience and learning, his perspective had expanded greatly.
He knew how to maximize his own interests.
After preparing in his mind for the conversation he was going to have with Im, a knock came at the door.
It was Stussy, returning.
"Your Highness."
"Come in."
At Kaos' command, Stussy opened the door and walked in with a respectful expression. "The arrangements have been made, you can head to the garden now."
"Alright, I understand."
Kaos nodded, stood up, and allowed Stussy to tidy his clothes before heading out of the castle.
"Your Highness!" x2
The two white-clad bodyguards at the door immediately bowed their heads and saluted.
They were also Kaos' bodyguards, at the rank of Vice Admiral in the Navy Headquarters, born from CP0 and raised by the World Government—loyal to the core.
Kaos didn't respond and walked straight toward the garden.
Behind him, the bodyguards and Stussy followed closely.
Along the way, Kaos' expression remained indifferent, without the arrogance and opulence that often graced the faces of other Celestial Dragons.
Yet he exuded an aura that drew the attention of countless onlookers, who all saluted him respectfully.
"Your Highness."
"Greetings, Sir."
"Your Highness Kaos."
Whether it was patrolling guards...
Or officials handling high-level government affairs...
Or even other Celestial Dragons...
When they saw Kaos, they all bowed their heads respectfully.
But Kaos merely smiled and didn't respond.
After a short while, he arrived at the garden.
There was only one gatekeeper here, an Admiral-level powerhouse.
"Your Highness Kaos, you may enter now."
"Understood."
Kaos nodded and stepped into the garden.
Stussy and the bodyguards remained outside, as they did not have the privilege to enter.
Passing through a dark corridor, Kaos reached the end and opened a door.
A scene filled with flower gardens unfolded before his eyes.
Butterflies fluttered.
In the midst of the flowers sat a figure in a white gown, with a veil and folded legs. Her figure exuded both elegance and coldness, a combination that somehow didn't clash.
Butterflies danced around her, making her look like a fairy among the flowers.
Im.
The true ruler of the World Government.
Having undergone the immortality surgery, she had lived for eight hundred years and would live on forever.
She was also Kaos' ancestor.
"Come, sit and talk," Im's gaze fell on Kaos, and after staring at him for a moment, she spoke slowly, patting the grass beside her.
Her voice was cold but carried an inexplicable allure.
Kaos nodded and sat down next to Im without hesitation, smelling the faint scent of flowers, which made him feel relaxed and content.
Im turned her head to look at him, gently stroking his head, and asked like an elder, "You've never taken the initiative to come to me before. This time, is there something important you wish to discuss?"
Her eyes, having witnessed the world's development for eight hundred years, held a depth beyond measure.
But fortunately, Kaos had no intention of hiding anything.
Instead, he nodded truthfully and waved his hand.
Suddenly, a closed golden door appeared behind Kaos.
Im frowned slightly. "Have you eaten a Devil Fruit?"
Kaos shook his head. "This is not the power of a Devil Fruit, Ancestor."
"Not a Devil Fruit?" A trace of doubt flashed in Im's eyes.
If it wasn't a Devil Fruit, could it be something passed down through blood?
She had no memory of such a power existing in the bloodline of the Celestial Dragons.
But she didn't ask further. She merely watched Kaos, knowing that he would explain.
And indeed.
In the next moment, Kaos raised his hand and snapped his fingers lightly.
Hum—
The door trembled.
Then it slowly opened.
Colorful lights radiated from it.
The corners of Kaos' mouth turned up in a smile. "I think you've already guessed it. This is a very special door, and on the other side of this door lies the New World."
"Oh, and by New World, I don't mean the second half of the Grand Line, but a truly brand-new world!"
As soon as the words fell, Im suddenly stood up, her purple pupils locked onto Kaos in disbelief.
"What did you just say?!"
